        Tèchne. N. 5/6 (copertina gialla)
      Tèchne edizioni, Firenze 1970 - Tèchne. N. 5/6 (copertina gialla). La rivista Tèchne nasce contro l'editoria industriale, considerata pigra e schiacciata da interessi mercantili, nella necessità di costruire uno strumento agile e di immediata distribuzione. In un clima di democratizzazione del pensiero artistico e insieme politico, diffuso anche grazie all'utilizzo del ciclostile, elabora contenuti e forme estetiche "sovversive". Con una particolare attenzione al contemporaneo, mette in circolo le idee vincendo le difficoltà economiche e le altre barriere che si pongono alla comunicazione. Rivista fatta in casa, nata dall'assemblaggio dei contributi di vari poeti corrispondenti da tutto il mondo, Tèchne è, assieme a Lotta Poetica, l'organo più importante del movimento internazionale di Poesia Visiva. Numerosi interventi originali firmati.
